AFAM fATRRS Funding Allocation Model):

The AFAM model determines training requirements for current National Guard soldiers in order to qualify them to perform duties in their
current duty position and for Professional Development considerations. It allows the individual states to identify those soldiers they intend
to send to training in the execution year. It computes the cost associated with that training and allows budget personnel at the National
Guard Bureau a means of determining training fund allocation based on funds available versus funding required for the selected training.

RTI Support Requirements: FY2000 Requirements FY2001 Requirements FY2002 Requirements

Regional Training Institute Support. The RTI Support model provides a means for Regional training Institutes to identify funding requirements
in the areas of Instructor Requirements, Instructor Certification Requirements, and Instructor Support requirements. It allows budget
personnel at the National Guard Bureau a means of determining training fund allocation based on funds available versus funding required.

Tass Readiness Report:

The TASS Readiness Report shows the readiness status of a Regional Training Institute. The data available includes authorized and
assigned for both support and instructor personnel. The data on instructors is broken down by MOS and Grade and includes Certification
and DMOS Qualification status. Data is also available on accreditation status and availably of full time classrooms, distance learning
classrooms, student housing capacity, and student messing capacity.

Training Analysis On Demand

Training Analysis on Demand is designed as a Quota Manager's tool to help in the daily performance of his duties. It consists of a series of
preformatted reports that link data from ATRRS, SIDPERS, and AFAM to provide an assortment of snapshots as to the status of quota
management within the state. The data is available based on the Payroll Number (PRN) of the units within the state.

ARNG Concerns

• MOS Consolidation

- Increases TATS course lengths.

- Increases “low use skills" knowledge erosion.

• Implementing POI Changes

- Allow a minimum of 12 months to implement POI revisions.

- Consider students requirements when implementing equipment
changes.

• Course Scheduling

- Most institutional & RC collective training takes place in Summer
creating constraints.

- Some AC Schools are overbooking quotas.

- TASS Schools are preparing schedules and supporting MTOE
units are scheduling AT periods without coordination of each
other.

ARNG Concerns

• Reduction/Elimination of Title XI Support Personnel

- Critical to TASS accreditation and instructor validation.

- Supports TIE in ammo/Training Area Management.

- Print & Reproduction Quality Control Oversight.

- Direct link to the Proponent Schools.

• Print & Reproduction Mission Implementation

- Ensure funds provided are enough to execute.

- Ensure quality standards are adhered to.

- Synchronized reproduction with class/course scheduling.

• DL Implementation

- Ensure ATRRS is updated to support DL Course/Student
Management.

- Ensure that TATS-C to DL Course Conversion remains funded.

• Policy Change to Schools Funding

- DA implemented policy this FY restricting the use of AT funds to
support school attendance.

NGB POLICY ON ATj0jg| CLASS MIN /OPT/

NGB SCHEDULING POLICY

9 MINIMUM - Class minimuAMDi bANJVIJJAiL/CBlkPAGtTMowing factors are
properly applied: (1) Method of instruction requires a defined minimum. (2) To "safely"
conduct, a min is required. (3) When a crew is being trained all members will be students and
quality of instruction is maintained. (4) When training density or IDT location prevents
achievement of POI minimum. In all cases close coordination with the TASS Battalion and
Proponent School must be accomplished to prevent problems during an accreditation.
Minimums can only be changed by NGB-ART-I with the TASS Battalion's consent in writing.

(This does not eliminate the need for a waiver)

9 OPTIMUM - This number will not exceed the smallest class scheduled, unless that class
prohibits approval of a wait (CQMS "N"). This number should reflect the best possible number
of students per class, based on Instructor student ratios, equipment student ratios, facilities
and equipment. This number could feasibly be the same as maximum class size.

9 MAXIMUM - This number should equal the schools maximum number of students that
can be taught at one location at one given time frame. POI maximum refers to a classroom or
group being trained. The ATRRS class maximum is based on POI max, times the number of
classrooms or groups being taught at the same time.

9 ANNUAL CAPACITY - This number should equal the ATRRS max class size times the
number of times or locations offered in a one year period. This can deviate if instructors,
equipment or facilities are constrained during some of the classes.
